Brownie:

1 cup (2 sticks) butter, melted

2 cup sugar

2 teaspoon vanilla extract

4 eggs

1 cup all-purpose flour

2/3 cup cocoa

1/2 teaspoon baking powder

1/2 teaspoon salt

Peanut Butter Filling:

1 1/2 cups peanut butter

2/3 cup honey

Ganache:

1 1/2 cups chocolate chips

6 tbsp. butter

Heat oven to 350°F. Grease a 9×13 inch baking pan. Stir together butter, sugar and vanilla in bowl. Add eggs one at a time, beating after each one. Stir together flour, cocoa, baking powder and salt. Add to butter mixture, beating until well blended. Spread batter evenly in prepared pan.

Bake 30 to 35 minutes or until brownies begin to pull away from sides of pan and toothpick comes out not quite clean. Cool completely in pan on wire rack.

Peanut Butter Filling: Stir together peanut butter and honey. Spread over cooled brownies.

Ganache: Melt butter and chocolate chips together in a microwave-safe bowl, stirring every 30 seconds, until smooth. This should only take 1-2 minutes. Pour evenly over brownies and spread carefully. Cool on counter or in refrigerator until set.
